Episode 1 - Delaware

This week we’re kicking off the America 250: Air and Space Power podcast. 2026 is a major anniversary for our country—250 years since our forefathers created an independent nation. We’re excited to help celebrate that history through an air and space lens.

Each state has contributed to the Air Force and Space Force in one way or another. There isn’t one key artifact, person, or exhibit. Instead, it’s a tapestry of dedication, innovation, community, and achievement. Over the course of the year, we’re going to highlight what we believe is a state’s top connection to airpower and spacepower.

This week, we begin in America’s first state: Delaware. Join us as we learn more about the birth of airlift at the Air Mobility Command Museum and the invention of the space suits that took us to the moon.
